Rather than come to the aid of a young girl and woman in a North Carolina lake after striking them with his boat so hard its propeller broke off, the driver instead tried to get rid of evidence of the party happening on the vessel at the time of the fatal collision, lawsuits allege.
"Toss everything overboard," Quinten Kight allegedly told the people on the boat, referring to the nearly 100 cans of White Claw and other alcoholic beverages that were apparently on board.
As Kight drove another 150 yards, 10-year-old Brooklyn Mae Carroll and 41-year-old Jennifer Stehle were "floating" in the water suffering from catastrophic injuries, the lawsuits say. Brooklyn later died, while doctors had to amputate Stehle's leg .
Now Brooklyn's family and Stehle have filed separate negligence lawsuits
